For Karen and Deon Derrico, their children come first -- after all, they have a total of 14 children and counting, seeing that Karen is pregnant yet again. With the couple going back and forth with their South Carolina move, it seems as though they have a lot on their plate.

With GG's health having gotten better, the family finally set out to South Carolina in order to spend time with Karen's family. And while Deon and Karen are going over their business plans and talks about their future, they still have to break the news of their pregnancy to the rest of the family.

Karen explained that she wanted nothing more than for her children to have a great relationship with her mother, who they call 'Matu', like 'maa two'. Growing up, Karen's mother was a single parent, and she mentioned that her mother worked hard to provide for them; thus, outward affection from her was never a thing. But now, Karen hopes that she can be that way with her grandchildren instead. Despite this sweet sentiment, Karen was afraid to tell her mother she was pregnant yet again, joking that she'd tell her once the baby was in her arms. Fans found the whole situation ridiculous.

"WTF you go down there for if you scared of your momma & what she's going to say? Chile bye. #doublingdownwiththederricos #TheDerricos" tweeted a fan. "Make it make sense that Karen is trying to move to South Carolina to be close to her mom but she don't want to tell her she's pregnant again for the 15th time #thederricos" added another. "So Karen wanna move to be close to her mama but don't wanna tell her mama she preganant #thederricos" said a fan. "If she's hesitant to tell her mom about this pregnancy WHY does she think moving near her would be a good idea #TheDerricos" added another. "When Karen's mom said "I'm going over with GG. I can't operate with all those kids!" #thederricos #doublingdownwiththederricos" added another. 



 



 



 



 



 

While Karen and Deon still had to break the news to Matu that they were pregnant, there was the matter of talking about it GG again, seeing that she and Deon ended on a bad note the last time they spoke about this issue. GG made it clear that she was not thrilled about the pregnancy because she was worried about what it was doing to Karen's body. She told Deon that she was worried that they were not thinking about what would happen to the kids if something happened to them. She also expressed the concern that if they kept having children, she was worried she wouldn't see them after a point if she wasn't around any longer. But Deon seemed determined to let his family grow, to which GG admitted that while she had a say in what they did, she also didn't.

What do you think? Is GG right? Sound off below!

Season 3 of 'Doubling Down With the Derricos' airs on TLC on Tuesdays at 10 pm ET.
